The Green project is a must for any DIY, creative maker, home improvement peoples or…read morevintage/historic home owner. This multiroom warehouse offers a plethora of bits and bobs from donated and gathered home improvement wares. One time I picked up an old door, an old timey facet head and some hinges. From these super economical finds, I was able to fabricate a garden gate, using the faucet as a creative spin on a traditional doorknob or latch. I love it. Recently, I eye spied, a partially used tub of tile adhesive and several random tiles. They'd be the perfect solution with someone with a tiny bathroom or counter top that needed sprucing up. You can find doors, windows, screen, light fixtures, tiles, wood, paint, and a whole host of parts that you can't pick up at any big box store. Think of the green project like a thrift store for your house or creative endeavor. Be patient and diligent, as it can be hit or miss.

This review reflects the boards members and the manager, Jasmine of The Green Project. On a…read moreSaturday of February 28, I visited The Green Project, a salvage store facility in New Orleans where all items are donated. I've been a customer for over 5-years and have made many donations as well as many purchases. I intended to buy a pallet of flooring; I gave my credit card to the cashier to pay for the flooring; I made a hasty decision because I was leaving town in a few days, then I changed my mind. On Sunday, the following day the stored was closed, I made contact with one of the stores workers by the name of Jerome. I told him I decided not to buy the flooring and requested my credit card be credited back to me for the $1980. On Monday I called and asked if I needed to bring my card to the store for the 1980 refund. I spoke to the Manager by the name of Jasmine; she informed me that they don't give refunds. Of course, I thought that was ridicules because I hadn't even removed anything from the store and proceeded to call the credit card company and file a claim for the $1980 to be refunded. Credit One gave me a temporary refund, I left town a few days later, when I returned, I still didn't think there was a problem until May 6, 2026, the day my bank reversed the credit claim, and I owed my creditor $1980. Since then, I've made attempt after another trying to recover those funds and I have not been successful. At this time my credit account is past due, and I refuse to pay for something I did not receive. The Green project sold the flooring to someone else. The manager Jasmine told my creditor that I had picked up the flooring and also told them there was a large, posted sign stating, "no refund policy", but this is not true, there was no sign at all posted. The Green Project knows very well I did not pick up the flooring, and they should've simply refunded my card. Basically, this is theft.

I priced out a few garden supplies only to find they were the same exact price as Lowe's right down the street. New or not, the items are not returnable so naturally I would choose the Lowe's option. I visit this store probably every 90 days and will find that a huge amount of items have been sitting at the same price tag for six months or more. Most of the larger furniture they take in is not in the best shape and priced over $150.00. This includes couches that have been torn up by cats and stained up. Still, I visit waiting for the occasional item that is just mysteriously priced very low. Be aware that they sometimes do have % off specials - but there's only one whiteboard at the front of the store by the cashier that indicates this.

Have you ever wondered where you can bring your scrap metal or aluminum (or a list worth of other…read moremetals) to be recycled?? And even make some change for getting this stuff out of your yard/life?? This place is it! We pulled up, unloaded some scrap metal and a few bags of aluminum cans that had built up in my shed and walked out with $17.10 cash. Don't worry, I'm not gonna quit my day job to dig in the recycling bins of my neighbors, but I am happy to know that some industrious person could at least get enough change to buy some groceries if they needed to. And, most importantly, I am happy to have those random metal things out of my life.

Here is another business that I frequent because of my job…read more This place is a full fledged machine shop tucked away in Harvey out of sight and out of mind. Mr. Tony the owner is a character. Vibrant and willing to offer up solutions to your problems. Though he is a bit hard to understand. He has a heavy European accent. As does his son in law. But they all know their stuff! The can refurbish or fabricate almost anything. And I'm serious. I seen some of the items they crank out and it makes my little puny sheaves look like a joke. They can create new hydraulic cylinders, having them chromed and pressure tested to very technical items with joints that can articulate. If you think the work you need done isn't intense enough to hire this company, think again. Talk to Mr. Tony or his son in law, Ivo, and let them see what they can do to help you out. In other words , no job is too small.

The only lead I got from local auto parts store was a place on Williams in Kenner but they no longer rent auto jack or jack lifts. Luckily I found this place on the internet. The guy on the phone was very nice and said that they rent these for $18/day. When I got there the place is very new and has lots of big light-heavy machinery for rent. In Austin I rent forklifts and skid steers quite often and have never seen a place that didn't look like a junk yard. The guy who helped me on the phone helped me in the store. I wanted to rent their jack lifts as well but he said that they would be too tall for my sedan. I asked about renting two jack lifts but he said that one should do. It is rare that a store clerk doesn't encourage an over eager customer to load up even if it isn't needed. If you ever need heavy equipment that you don't want to buy give them a call first. I even called a few auto parts stores back to let them know that there are local places that rent since they all just said I would need to purchase from them.... The guy who helped me even loaded the heavy part in the SUV for me.

I brought my sputtering mower in, and was so surprised that Bo and team submitted the work as warranty as all was approved so no out of pocket expense! But beyond, when I picked up the unit..I had to ask Bo if they brought the right unit out to me..it was cleaned and tuned up to the point of looking and working as if I had a brand new machine! I come from the school of Lean Mfg. and just walking into their shop was pleasant--everything neat, labeled, organized, clean! I was so surprised that Bo wasn't out to charge outrageous money for and in fact suggested that he would try for Warranty approval first. ( I had taken this unit to a shop in Uptown, paid $90 in service fees, Owner had trouble even finding my unit, then told me he spray cleaned the carburetor, worked ok for 1 mowing ).

This is America; you sell a part, it breaks or is defective, its the business's job to send it back to their supplier. The counter person said "they have been doing this for a long time and have NEVER seen a defective part. I call hogwash on that. I am a retired Navy mechanic that has worked on everything from small engines & diesels to multi-million dollar jet powered support equipment and I HAVE seen my share of defective parts. Oh- they did offer to "look at my mower" but that's just a way for them to make more money off of you and try to find more wrong with your equipment and blame the operator or equipment for failure. Go to Pauli's Lawn Equipment; much better service and Danny not only works the counter, he works on equipment. Crank was straight so didn't bring back so you guys to tell me same and charge me for something else. The fact you wouldn't stand behind your product speaks volumes.... Thanks for at least the friendly counter service before I purchased the bunk part, that's why I at least gave two stars.
